Product Description

The SMC D-F5PWL is an inline solid-state auto switch designed for pneumatic position sensing. This PNP, 3-wire sensor has a current consumption of 80 mA or less and an IP67 rating. It is a tie-rod style switch for industrial automation applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SMC D-F5PWL inline solid state auto switch used for?

The SMC D-F5PWL is used for pneumatic position sensing in industrial automation. It detects cylinder piston position and sends a PNP signal to a PLC or controller. Typical applications include packaging, material handling, and assembly lines where reliable, non-contact sensing is required.

What are the specifications of the SMC D-F5PWL?

The SMC D-F5PWL is an inline solid state auto switch with PNP output, 3 wires, and IP67 protection. It consumes 80 mA or less and is a tie-rod style sensor. The manufacturer part number is D-F5PWL. It is designed for pneumatic cylinder position sensing in harsh environments.

Where to buy the SMC D-F5PWL worldwide?

3G Electric supplies the SMC D-F5PWL worldwide. As a global industrial solutions provider, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your facility. Contact us for pricing and lead time. We source genuine SMC components for pneumatic position sensing applications.

How to install the SMC D-F5PWL on a pneumatic cylinder?

Mount the D-F5PWL on the cylinder tie rod using the provided bracket. Connect the 3 wires: brown to +24 VDC, blue to 0 VDC, and black to the PLC input. Ensure the sensor aligns with the piston magnet. Test by cycling the cylinder; the switch output should toggle with piston position.
